Practical use of a direct injection system for site specific application of pesticides (Project)
In large-scale field trials the use of a direct injection system for site specific application of pesticides in agricultural practice is tested. A prototype of a field sprayer with a direct injection system was developed as part of a joint project between the company Herbert Dammann GmbH and the Julius Kühn- Institute. This framework enables a real-time dosing of plant protection products and...

Smart breeding solutions to minimize ergot incidence in hybrid rye (Project)
Plant genetic resources (PGR) for food and agriculture are the raw material indispensable for crop genetic improvement. However, introgression of desired genes into adapted breeding material is often hampered by genes, which have a negative impact on crop performance. This problem of a common inheritance of desirable and undesirable genes in backcross breeding is known as a so-called 'linkage...

Immunity suppressive action of Salmonella effector proteins in plant cells (Project)
Increasing number of reports, linking food poisoning with the consumption of Salmonella contaminated raw vegetables and fruits, suggest that these bacteria use both animals and plants as potential hosts. Most studies suggested an extracellular lifestyle of Salmonella on plants, however, recent results have shown that Salmonella are able to colonize the intracellular compartments of various plants...

Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem Resilience and agricultural Sustainability (Project)
DIVERSify is a consortium of scientists, farmers, advisors, breeders and SMEs to co-construct a new approach and tools to investigate the mechanisms underpinning the benefits associated with cropping plant teams, and the crop traits and agronomic practices promoting these benefits. Focussing on arable and grassland systems, the six objectives are to: 1) identify current best practice for plant...

Molecular characterisation and effect of entomopathogenic fungi and bacteria on insect pest strains of walnut orchards in a biodiversity hotspot (Project)
Food security is one of the prime concerns of present times because of rising consumer demands, receding agricultural land, climatic change and exponential human interference. Among various food plants, Walnuts are included in FAO list of priority plants because of their nutritive value. Although walnuts are of economic importance, outbreaks of various insect pests hamper their production. In...

Nutrition and bone health in vegans and omnivores (Project)
Background: The interest in a vegan nutrition has steadily increased in recent years in Germany. The Association of Vegetarians (VEBU) writes on its website that about 7.8 million vegetarians and 900,000 vegans are living in Germany. The Institute for Demoskopy Allensbach (IfD) and the market and opinion research institute YouGov confirm this development. Even if these numbers are estimated to be...

Uptake and effect of nano- and microplastics in the intestine and liver (Project)
Microplastic are plastic particles with a diameter of one micrometer to five millimeters. They are an environmental pollutant due to the increasing use of plastics in the last decades. Microplastic can be divided into two different types: primary microplastic is intentionally produced in this size range as an ingredient for different purposes. Secondary microplastic results from fragmentation...

Behaviour of zinc oxide nanoparticles in the human digestive system (Project)
Zinc is known as a micronutrient and therefore used in many dietary supplements. Furthermore, zinc oxide has an antibacterial effect and is therefore of interest as a nanomaterial. High doses of zinc oxide cause liver and kidney failure in animal experiments. The Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) recommended an upper limit of zinc intake of 25 mg/ person per day. Nevertheless, it is still...
